  • Planning in multi-agent partially observable domains using sparse sampling

    Creator:
    Donneau-Golencer, Thierry D.
    Abstract:
    A large number of sequential decision-making problems in uncertain environments can be modeled as Markov Decision Processes (MDPs). In such settings, an agent can observe at each time step the state of the environment and then executes an action, causing a stochastic transition to a new state of the environment...

  • Toward Automated Decision-Making in Power Systems Wide-Area Protection

    Creator:
    Meier, Richard John
    Abstract:
    In recent years there have been many improvements in the reliability of critical infrastructure systems. Despite these improvements and despite targeted efforts to improve the operation and control of the electric grid, the power systems industry has seen relatively small advances in this regard. For instance, today's power system is...

  • Projecting White Pine Blister Rust Hazard Ratings Under Climate Change in Southwestern Oregon

    Creator:
    Cicekli, Zeynep
    Abstract:
    Sugar pine and western white pine are widely distributed, economically valuable, and ecologically important native tree species in North America. However, white pine blister rust (WPBR), caused by a non-native fungal pathogen, Cronartium ribicola J.C. Fisch. in Rabh., has substantially affected populations of these species. Cronartium is an obligate parasite,...

  • Development of a radial microlamination architecture for cylindrical microchannel arrays

    Creator:
    Vlieg, James H.
    Abstract:
    Microchannel arrays are being developed across a wide spectrum of microfluidic applications including blood processing, fuel cells and thermal management among many others. Typical arrays are based on a flat laminated architecture produced in a vacuum hot press (VHP) through solid-state diffusion bonding. Due to the cylindrical nature of certain...

  • CLEAN learning to improve coordination and scalability in multiagent systems

    Creator:
    HolmesParker, Chris
    Abstract:
    Recent advances in multiagent learning have led to exciting new capabilities spanning fields as diverse as planetary exploration, air traffic control, military reconnaissance, and airport security. Such algorithms provide a tangible benefit over traditional control algorithms in that they allow fast responses, adapt to dynamic environments, and generally scale well....

  • Direct and indirect effects of livestock grazing intensity on processes regulating grassland bird populations

    Creator:
    Johnson, Tracey N.
    Abstract:
    In grasslands, grazing by large ungulates can influence vegetation structure, composition, primary productivity, and ultimately, ecosystem functioning. While grazing represents a complex disturbance, grazing intensity largely determines the effects of grazing on vegetation. Structural and compositional changes in the plant community caused by grazing could have bottom-up effects on species...

  • An Integrated Conceptual Framework for Sustainable Public Housing

    Creator:
    Sharafeddin, Asma
    Abstract:
    Public housing (PH) provides a substantial portion of the housing in both developed and less developed countries, and the demand for it is increasing. The PH projects, however, are facing many challenges that are affecting their performance and cause their failures. The United States has demolished large portions of their...

  • Literacy narratives across the curriculum

    Creator:
    Coffey, Marjorie D.
    Abstract:
    This thesis proposes expanding the locations where literacy narratives are currently used as readings and as writing assignments and considering broad conceptions of the types and uses of literacy narratives read in classrooms. In particular, this thesis asserts the value of expanding the literacy narratives read beyond the current canonical...
